adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth) (1 39), human

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) (1-39), human, is an agonist of the melanocortin receptor.

ACTH (7-38) (human) is a fragment (7-38) of the full human adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH (1-39)), also known as corticotropin inhibitory peptide (CIP). It functions as an antagonist to the ACTH receptor and lacks corticosteroid activity [1].

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (6-24) (ACTH (6-24) (human)) is a fragment of ACTH that acts as a competitive inhibitor of steroidogenesis prompted by full-length ACTH (1-39) and the shortened ACTH (5-24), with dissociation constants (Kd) of 13.4 nM and 3.4 nM, respectively. It also impedes the production of corticosterone and the accumulation of cyclic AMP (cAMP) triggered by human parathyroid hormone (hPTH 1-34) [1] [2].

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) (1-39) human (TFA), a member of the melanocortin family, is a melanocortin receptor agonist that stimulates corticosteroid production by the adrenals; melanocortin receptors are also located in the central nervous system (CNS) and on immune cells.

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) (1-39), human acetate, is a complete form of the human adrenocorticotropic hormone.
